the moon out my window tonight
fights with the glow of the tired city lights
and all i can hear is the sound of the train that runs right through the center of town
the hallway is sweating the stink of dishes piled high up in my kitchen sink
and i've only got myself to blame
but drinking alone is just never the same.
so if i knock on your window would you come and walk downtown with me tonight?
and promise you'll stay at my side, cause i've never been hungrier in my whole life.
we can walk past that same old cafe, wave at friends smoking outside the bars on the way
and i'll try and be good company, you've known me forever the drinks are on me.
but i hope you won't be alarmed if as we walk down the sidewalk i reach for your arm.
remembering that feeling sublime, i think i nearly forgot its been such a long time.
and if i go choosing my words right, would you come crash up at my place tonight?
i promise you i'll stay in line but if you want it you got it, and i wouldn't mind.
